Wow that must have been very loud if it was too loud through the ACS customs. I have the 26db ACS customs, and sometimes find the fit isn’t as tight towards the end of a gig, which makes them not quite as effective. I tend to now only take them out when I am in the car and all packed up due to loud music/DJ playing after the band has finished and are packing up etc

Played at Kent festival of scouting last night for the 14-17 year olds. The whole event was set up just like a proper music festival, and we were in a huge tent with stage, crowd barrier and pro sound team. The kids there were loving it. Earlier in the week the band had played at the opening ceremony on the main stage( I was on holiday and they had a dep) but apparantly the stage was last used at the Ozzy tribute at Villa Park. Couple of pics below of the venue before they were let in

Wow - that’s a lot. The timings and running orders have been leaked and most bands only seem to be getting 15 minute slots, with Metallica only getting 30 mins. im glad I am not going tbh

September seems to be when most of the UK retailers are getting them in

Just back from seeing Iron Maiden at London Stadium. 24th time I have seen them and they were brilliant. Only downside was people squaring up to each other and on the verge of fighting over standing up in the seating area!

I just got an Ibanez EHB to help with weight/back pain. Its really light and am loving it so far. I also just got a Shure GLX tuner/wireless as it has a large display. Last week on my old tuner I managed to tune one string flat because I couldn’t see the display properly, which made for an awkward first song! I need glasses for reading and close up stuff, but don’t really like playing with them on.

Guitar guitar have some in stock

I had a chance to buy a ticket for villa park last week when they released some more for sale, but just couldn’t bring myself to pay £412.50 for a seat

I asked Andertons and they said end of September, Guitar Guitar website says the same.

Great, looking forward to seeing the video

Did you find one in stock somewhere? Everywhere I have seen has a 3-4 month wait list now

Looks there is now a long waiting list for these, Andertons saying > 3 months, and Guitar Guitar saying end of September 😮

Am definately interested in one of these, unfortunately all of the usual places have sold out, so will have to wait a while. i I’ve been looking for ages for a good sounding, easy to use multi effects and I think this could be it. I liked the look of the QC but I do think it’s more than I need, and thought of putting something that costs £1,400 on the floor at a pub gig fills me with terror! Was also looking at the Boss ME90b but wasn’t sure if it was more aimed at beginners, although it does look good. I think the Anagram hits the gap in the middle of these two

Def try the cc company. it took me nearly a month to get a refund from Bax when they were trading

I have the alpha omega amp, and you can get all sorts of distortion, fuzz and overdrive out of it, from subtle gain to full on

2nd week in a row playing at Market House in Maidstone on Saturday (with a different band). Not quite as good as last week, it was quieter but picked up for the last hour and so ended well. Had to ditch the IEMs half way through and go back to my ear plugs. I think it was due to having to stand so near to the PA and these were drowning out the IEMs. I keep thinking about getting a Quad Cortex, but then talk myself out of it with gigs like last night with drinks getting spilt near the equipment. This venue has a good barrier between the crowd and band but still doesn’t stop the flying drinks! . I used the bare minimum equipment of bass & amp last night and I thought it sounded good. I just changed the drive setting on my amp for the heavier songs. ive next weekend off before 5 gigs in April.

What FRFR can are you using? One of my bands puts everything through the PA and I’m considering getting the Headrush 112 for on stage monitoring and not taking an amp & cab anymore. The guitarist has the 108 version for his monitor.

They do have some random sales on there. i picked up a Darkglass 210 combo amp for £480 the other week. Unfortunately I didn’t like it and it went back, but I’ve no idea why it was priced so low, when all other shops sell it for around £1k. took ages to get a refund though

Played at The Market House in Maidstone last night, which is my favourite venue in the local area. The pub was packed and gig went really well. Only downside was that I got a parking ticket in the loading bay, which was annoying and I’ll be appealing that tomorrow. I'm playing in the same place next Saturday with a different band, which I’m looking forward to.

Just won a Boss Katana Go on Guitar Giveaway and it should be being delivered tomorrow. I was hoping to win a Quad Cortex, but a Katana Go is nice too 😃

Played at Drakes in Maidstone on Saturday, and it was the first gig I’d had with this band since December. It went well overall, but we were playing outside in the courtyard and it was freezing! I had to put a jumper back on a couple of songs in. There were plenty of people there, but mainly they stayed by the patio heaters rather than come up dancing. As usually happens, those people came to life at 11.30 just as we were heading towards the end of the set! The outside area had had a makeover since we last played there, and decking had been installed, along with a raised stage area which was nice. A good, but cold gig overall. We finished with a rocked up version of Livin La Vida Loca which was quite amusing. I’d also installed some Schaller strap locks earlier in the day and was pleased with them.

This was an awesome event. Got to meet Sheldon Dingwall as well which was pretty cool.

Went to see Kasabian at Shepards Bush Empire last night for a War Child gig. They were awesome as always, and it was great seeing them in such a small venue. Support band was Blossoms who I had never heard of, they were also great and I’ve enjoyed listening to them today.

Andertons are hosting a masterclass with Nolly & Sheldon Dingwall in Guildford on 27th Feb, £10 a ticket. i bought a ticket, it’s not going to help my GAS for an NG3 in Celestial Blue!

The poly tune clip on is awesome, I wouldn’t be without it It’s far more accurate than the one on the Sansamp
